Stewart, Jr., who is president of the Stewart Automobile academy of New York' city, and regarded as the leading au- thority on motor car educaton in this country. Queries from local au- toists will be ' che€erfully answered mext week if possible. Motoring Department, I have a Toadster, but cannot get but 30 M, P. ‘H. from same. Engine seems to run all’ right, but lacks speed, vet the engine seems to run very fast, but the car does not and it lacks power on hills. Diff. carburetor adjustments do not help it any. When the car is pushing . to engine, such as going down hill with clutch in there is a noise like the windipg of a fish-reel. Hoping you can give me some advice in this mat- I Temain, C. E. A. ‘Woul suggest that you open up the housing and make a careful inspect- tion of the clutch parts. There is a clutch thrust bearing which, if not properly lubricated, will wear and permit too much lost motion. If this ball race has worn considerably the tension of the clutch spring will be lessened and the clutch will slip. | From what you have stated the clutch is slipping badly, and this accounts for the apparent loss of power. You may find it necessary to install a few new parts in the clutch to remedy the trouble. Motoring Department—I " have a nearly new car equipped with the Bosch Duplex ignition and occasion- ally when motoring on a hot day the engine will suddenly go dead, but if the switch be turned to the battery or even slightly toward it, the engine will immediately pick up and run all right. Please explain the cause of this.— 3. R. 8 It appears that the trouble lies in the switch, Possibly a loose connec- tion is causing the trouble. Tt would Pe best to have a competent repair wman inspect the switch carefully and also the various wiring terminals. Would also suggest that you com- municate direct with the makers of | this magneto, as it may be necessary for you to return it to them for re- pairs, The trouble is probably of a minor nature. From what you have stated it appears to be in the switch. Motoring Department—I have a R. C. H. car in which there is a car- buretor. The carburetor in its pres- ent shape will give me more power BASEBALL EASTERN ASSOCIATION TUESDAY, AUGUST 18, BRIDGEPORT AT NEW BRITAIN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, NEW HAVEN AT NEW BRITAIN 'I'H'.TRSI;AY.

McEnroe’s Oigar Store, Church Street. when the gas auxiliator is half down than when it is down full Have tried giving a poorer mixture, but does not make any difference. Can You help me adjust this?—G. T. H. Would suggest changing the air springs, By Increasing or decreas- Ing the spring tension a greater range of carburetor adjustment can be ob- tained. Very often a little heavier spring is necessary. This cannot be determined, however, except by ex- periment. You may also find it neces- sary to change the size of the opening of the spray nozzle, It is not pos- sible to lay down on paper rules for earburetor adjustment. To obtain a proper carburetor adjustment it often requires considerable experimenting with different size air springs and 8pray nozzles, Motoring Department.—Could you tell me what the difference is between a high tension distributor and a timer? The high' tension distributor takes care of and distributes the high ten- sion of secondary current to the varl- ous cylinders at timed intervals. The timer simply interrupts at timed intervals the primary current. The primary current is obtained from a generdtor or storage battery, and this is stepped up to a high voltage current by means of the in- duction coil. The timer and distrib- utor is necessary in order to have the spark delivered to the respective cylinders in the proper firing order at the proper time. Motoring Department.—I have a car which has the dual ignition, but oftentimes the dry cells give out and I am obliged to start on the mag- neto. 1 have always been advised to keep the spark retarded when start- ing. A friend tells me the spark must be advanced when starting on the magneto. Is this safe?—Reader. There is no danger in cranking a motdor on the magneto with spark ad- vanced. The motor should not be rocked, but should be cranked in a firm and positive manner. There is a certain amount of lag to the action of the magneto at slow speeds which permits the advance of the spark. A magneto spark at slow engine speeds such as when cranking by hand is not intense. The battery spark, however, is intense even at slow engine speed. For this reason, when cranking by hand on the battery, the spark must be’ retarded. Motoring Department.—My motor has develaped a slight knock which I have located, but cannot fix. The valve tapper on No. 2 seems to make the noise. When the cam raises the roller, the roller does not seem to come down until the cam has partially left. In other words, the tappet rod seems to stick. I have changed the valve spring and inspected carefully all parts, but as Vet have not been able to adjust the trouble. What would you suggest?—Reader. Probably the lower part of the valve stem is warped, and when the valve ig lifted by the cam same sticks in the guide for an instant. Changing the valve springs would not neces- sarily eliminate the trouble. It would be best to ream out the valve stem guide and install a new valve. The valve stem must have a slight play (Continued on Ninth Page.) | make. | errers by Egan, | on j over and the Giants H New York DEFEATS BROOKLYN Jimmy Lavender Twirs Airtight Ball for Cubs—Other Gam:s.

New York, Aug. 18.—The New Yorks engaged Washington yesterday afternoon in a double header at the Polo grounds and came out with honor. It was a drawn verdict. The Chancemen were shut out in a thril- ling opener by a score of 1 to 0, but took revenge on the mighty Walter Johnson by a 4 to 3 count in the clos- ing game. No doubt most of the fans were sat- isfled with the ultimate issue; not so the Peerless I.eader. He had the scare of his life before his underlings managed to lift Johnson's scalp, or rather before Johnson lifted his scalp for them. The big Swede threw his game away in the last two innings by suddenly developing a wild streak when seven-ninths of the way to a 3 to 0 shut out.

Tip Tops Win in Eighth, Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 18.-—Bunch- ing three hits around a pair of bases on halls and an error in the eighth inning, the Rraoklyn Tip Tops scored three runs and downed the Packers a Great Game for Braves | president said Boston, Aug. 18.—Sometimes he is called J. Carlisle Smith; sometimes he is called Red Smith. He is the third baseman the Boston Braves bought from Brooklyn. His recent playing makes the monaker of ‘“Red” suit him better than the other style, part- ed in the middle as it is. J. Carlisle Smith would be all right for a literary gent, but for a ball player who hats out three baggers and home runs “RED” SMITH__[ %8 “Red” Smith sounds more in keeping. Smith did not make any great hit this year with the Brooklyn team. No one knew exactly why Wi Robinson decided to let him go, and he probably does not regret it, though Smith immediately hegan do- ing things for Stallings.

O’'ROURKE MAKES DENIAL, President O'Rourke denied yester- day the story that any favoritism had been shown New Britain when it was allowed to post $1,250 cash instead of a $2,000 surety company bond. The the league directors voted that either arrangement would be satisfactory. The troubles of the New Britain club were discussed at the Saturday night meeting in New Haven and it was voted to give Own- er Scinski an extension until tonight. Mayor Quigley of New Rritain is making an effort to have the busi- ness men subscribe enough to keep the club in New Rritain.

New Haven and Hartford battled for twelve exciting innings at Savin Rock yesterday before the Senators were able to win. It happened in the twelfth when with two gone Barney singled to right, stole second and came home when Pepe booted Groh's liner.
